Abstract
Biotechnology researchers and laboratory technicians cannot always prevent errors in their results owing to the temperature variation between samples and pipettes. Gilson, the pioneer in high-quality pipetting technology, has developed a positive displacement pipette, the Microman®, to circumvent the issue. Here we present a comparison of Microman® performance with that of the Pipetman®, the reliability standard from Gilson.
